I just found out that installing cygwin at root is a way to get dejagnu working again.  Probably it's only /usr/share which dejagnu
is not accessing through the standard mount when installed at e.g. E:\cygwin\usr\share.  I had the environment set so that 'less
$DEJAGNULIBS/runtest.exp' was displaying correctly, yet dejagnu says it doesn't exist, when cygwin is installed the recommended way.
